Grant Morrison, acknowledging Superman's
heritage and legacy,
presented Superman in all his true glory.
As one of the many elements in his revolutionary work in JLA,
Grant Morrison has managed to adhere to DC's strict editorial limitations
regarding Superman, yet to simultaneously re-define the character
without anyone at DC being able to stop him.
For the first time since 1986, DC presented a Superman who has a renewed confidence and sense of optimism, who knows that he will succeed (and does succeed) because he fights on the side of right, and who inspires others to greatness by his actions. When Grant Morrison first began writing JLA in 1997, one of his first acts was to do away with John Byrne's antagonistic relationship between Superman and Batman and return it to that of old comrades-in-arms. He showed a Superman with super-intelligence who has the powers to move small planets (JLA #7, 1997) and although Superman cannot blow-out stars with his super-breath, his descendents can (DC One Million #2, 1998).

In his brief run on The Flash, Morrison reminded us that, contrary to the claims made in the pages of Byrne's Man of Steel, Kal-El was in fact born on Krypton rather than on Earth. |

In DC One Million and JLA, he has restored
Superman's legend, his nobility, and his ultimate destiny. Much like
the Bronze Age Superman,
this is a
Superman who will be the ancestor to generations of Supermen and possibly
become Rao himself.
Grant Morrison's JLA is DC's only current top-ten selling title.
